Time to Fill in the Blank Days!

Wednesday, April 20 was an early rise day meeting the Curvettes for breakfast at 6:45 in Ephrata to discuss our trip to Watkins Glen. From there I went to Wal-Mart for a few groceries. When I got home I started some packing for the trip and loading some things to take to mom later.Ken and I had an appointment with our financial advisor and from there went to Masonic Homes to play Pinochle with Mom and Dad. It was a fun afternoon. I was extremely sleepy on the drive there, probably because I didn't have my "needed" chai this morning for that boost of caffeine. I can't believe I have gotten so "hooked" on that stuff!We left there around 4:45 and stopped at John and Cindy's for a short time and then took a moderate walk when we got home. I spent the evening recording our expenses in our budget program - what fun! Where does all that money go????Thursday morning I did some wash and then spent a lot of time packing for the Watkins Glen adventure. How can it take so long and do you "think" you need so much stuff for a 3 day, 2 night trip??? It's crazy, but the weather forecast and temperatures for that area caused me to pack "layers" of clothing.Ken and I went for a long walk in the 70 degree temperature. It was a very nice day. When we returned we called our youngest granddaughter, Katelyn, to sing Happy Birthday. She turned 5 today. We grilled for dinner and I spent the evening making cards while Ken read. I did get a phone call from Noela today and they signed up for Passport America, a membership for RVer's that gets you in to many campgrounds at a reduced rate. She also made reservations for the CG where we will be staying for 1 week in Mesa, Arizona when Dane is participating in the Ironman competition. It's exciting! Planned to go to bed early, but only turned off the light around 10:30.

About Me

Ken and I started dating at age 15 and got married in 1969 at age 19. We are the proud parents of 2 daughters and 4 granddaughters, the 4th one born
April 21 of 2011. What fun! This family just doesn't do boys!! In 2008 we purchased a 29' Winnebago Minnie with 2 slides and haven't been the same since!! We are positively having the time of our lives. In Oct. 2010 we bought an Open Range 5th Wheel and 3/4 Ton Diesel Truck. Took our 1st trip with it to FL in Feb. 2011. Loved it!! Many trips since Florida, and the fun and adventures just continue! In November 2013, we bought a new Winnebago Sightseer Motorhome. Ken had never owned a truck and only used it to pull the 5th wheel. He was so ready to go back to a motorhome and does he ever love it. Our 1st night in it was in Florida Jan. 2014. Florida keeps calling us back every year and so does more and more traveling. Ken retired June 30, 2013 and we are definitely Celebrating Life Daily!
